Summary
Scholars such as al-Sakhawi, al-Zurqani and al-Iraqi could not find a source for this hadith, while al-Saghani ruled it fabricated. Mulla Ali Qari also called it fabricated but said its meaning is correct. The view preferred is that the hadith has no known origin, yet its meaning is sound because it agrees with Allah's statement in Surah al-Shura, verse 20.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
